Description

Special:NewPages list is not exposed in the API. For wikis which do not have PageTriage installed, this makes it hard to get a new pages list programmatically.

Relevant links:

NewPages , its docs. no API that I know of

NewPagesFeed , its PageTriage extension docs, and its API

You can use list=recentchanges&rctype=new to filter for new pages. That results in the same query which is used by the special page.
